Hi
I've been looking at Cioccs as of late and they seem to be extremely nice frames, and I was looking specifically at their aluminium offering, the Saphir. I was just interested to know if anyone had any experience with this or any other Cioccs? I kind of get the impression they're more a 'tailor made' sort of firm with all production in Italy (ie the opposite of Bianchi and Pinarello) which might make them a bit difficult to come across.
Finally, does anyone have a rough estimate as to how much these things actually cost?

That's pretty good money I think, but maybe I'll wait a bit and save up a lot more money and get a really nice carbon frame from them...
Are the frames customizable (paint-wise) like Mercians or do you just get a choice of three colors or something?

Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side.. |

I use to have a Ciocc Challenger which was a brilliant bike. Buy any Ciocc and I'm sure you will be very pleased with it. I used and abused mine for over eight years and it never gave me any trouble. Unfortunately I crashed it so it came to a sad end.

...I checked their website and they only seem to do Colnago and a few other firms I've never heard of...
Thanks anyway though
